My execise regime

Earlier, I used to workout daily but I don't get a chance to anymore. I don't have time for gymming, so I try to workout at home. My workouts include breathing exercises, ab workouts and strength training. Breathing is crucial in dancing and so it is an important part of my exercises. Besides the normal workouts, I also have rehearsals for bailey training daily. Dance for me is a great form of exercise.

My diet

I am a vegetarian and not a foodie at all. At times I tend to realise that I have gone through the day and not eaten at all. I avoid oily food and in fact my friends get mad at me as I don't have cake even on my own birthday. I do have a sweet tooth though for chocolates. My problem areas I don't have any problem areas. In fact recently, I have been trying to put on weight. For a long time I was avoiding butter and any fatty foods but even after I have stopped watching what I eat, I still have not seen a gain in my weight. Since childhood, I have been a very careful eater as I always stayed away from fried food. For example, one samosa puts three hours of work out down the drain.

My strengths

I am extremely proud of my legs and my abs. Karan Singh Grover always complements me on my legs and muscles. He likes to call me pehlwan. I workout a lot on my abs as I feel that women look good with toned abs.
